So I asked about the dog and she said she could sell it to me. THIS IS THE SAME DOG I JUST SENT YOU MONEY FOR. I havn't told her about her lies yet because we are waiting to see what "dog" shows up on Friday.

So she never takes down these picture? Puppy mill where you will get any ol' dog that she just picks up, and puts in a crate and ships?

Anyone have anymore insite? I need help wth this one.

what website is it? when is this baby going to fly in?

JESSY_RN2B · 02-21-2007, 12:31 PM

Okay, seriously......if you are seeking help, then perhaps you might want to post the website

Do you have her name and address as well? Maybe someone here lives close by (if the address is legit).

If you still can I would cancel payment immediately! Same thing happened to me on puppyfind a little over 2 yrs ago....this woman sold the same 5 puppies (or rather just the picture of non-existent puppies) over and over again, made flight arrangements (which cost nothing for the breeder until they actually bring the puppy to the airport to ship) sent confirmation numbers....NO PUPPIES!! I am out a little over $1,000 and finally 2 yrs later she has been court ordered to pay me back as well as the others she scammed. Be very careful when purchasing a puppy over the internet! There are alot of wonderful reputable breeders, but unfortunately there are also alot of scammers out there.

Amber_lv · 02-21-2007, 12:57 PM

how did you send the money? was it Western Union? can you still get your money back?

yml · 02-21-2007, 01:11 PM

On the PuppyFind WS you have to read the buy with confidence...They state do not accept WU and to use Major CC or PayPal, etc. they explain the "Funds Not Guaranteed" to get money back...Go to your local classifieds, that is what I did after a few scams were discovered and fortunately not followed through on that WS and you will find plenty of breeders that are very good, use the internet only to research and ask questions like on this sight...

P.S. I sent emails saying I know this has come to be a scam and tell them you are going to report them to the sight, they wish for you to do that, (the sight) and I "Suddenly" never got another email...Or use this threat to get you $'s back...Good Luck

YIKES!!!! Sounds like bad news to me!

It continues to BAFFLE me how people can be so dishonest. I guess I have lived a very sheltered life. My parents raised me right. That when you do wrong to people, it will come back around to you somehow. I'm sorry there are people in the world who don't understand that. It makes me very sad.

drdaley · 02-23-2007, 07:24 AM

I dont want to post the Website or names or addresses yet. We are suppose to be getting the TONIGHT, will it be there? Who knows. We will have to wait and see.

Once I get this dog (if I get this dog), I am going to make her life a living hell. I am going to contact every agency I can think of. I will drive to her house and confront her too. Its only 6 hours away.

Anybody have any good contacts of people that can get her in trouble for this? I have come to find out she has 4 complaints against her with the BBB. Didn't find that out until yesterday.

Thanks everyone. Stay tuned for the results, Puppy, No puppy. I should post tomorrow sometime.

CO_yorkie_momma · 02-23-2007, 05:34 PM

I am curious to know why you didnt just drive there in the first place if it is only six hours away instead of taking a chance on being scammed. If she follows through and you get the puppy, then why would you be turning her in? I guess I am confused.

I HOPE YOUR BABY IS THERE WAITING FOR YOU. I WILL SAY A
I JUST HAD A TEACHER FROM MY SONS HIGH SCHOOL BUY A PUPPY FROM ME AROUND CHRISTMAS. THAT WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND SOMEBODY HE COULD TRUST, AND SO GLAD TO SEE THE PUPPIES PARENTS RIGHT THERE TO HOLD. HE SAID HE HAD JUST GOTTEN SCAMMED ALSO. THAT HE WAITED FOR A PUPPY AT THE AIRPORT & IT NEVER SHOWED UP. HE SAID "BEING A TEACHER, YOU WOULD THINK THAT I WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT SMARTER, RIGHT ?" I FELT SO BAD FOR HIM, BUT WAS SO HAPPY HE CAME TO ME FOR A LITTLE PUPPY TO LOVE AFTER JUST BEING TAKEN THE WEEK B4.
I TOLD HIM THAT I ALMOST GOT SCAMMED WHEN I FIRST STARTED BREEDING BY SOMEBODY THAT WANTED MY PUPPIES SENT TO WEST AFRICA. THE MAN SAID HE WOULD EVEN PAY ME $200.00 EXTRA FOR MY TROUBLE. THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME FROM THIS SCAMMER IS, I DON'T SHIP MY PUPPIES, OR HE WOULD HAVE HAD ME. SO IF IT HELPS ANY, IT HAPPENS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. TRUSTING PEOPLE, AND SMART PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE CRIMINAL MINDS, SO THEY NEVER SUSPECT ANY THING UNTIL IT'S TO LATE. SO JOIN THE CLUB & WELCOME TO YORKIE TALK.
I WILL STILL SAY A

OR 2 AND KEEP MY

UNTIL YOU GET BACK TO US.
